Only 30 - 40 were MOT'd last year in the UK going by the DVLA website. frown Parts are flipping rare, don't think I could afford to keep it in the long run in case something goes wrong.

I removed all the the surface rust yesterday and this afternoon cut the crappy metal out.

The front wing is welded on! ARGH.

Welded a new piece of metal in. Couldn't find any spare metal anywhere, so cut up an old PC tower case I got from work, which really did the job. smile

Will shape properly tommorow and get that wing off.

There was a load of genuine panels on ebay for about 400 quid about a month ago.

Today I set about the other side of the hole!

This'll do until I get some gas to seam weld it. I'm praying it doesn't flipping rain now!

Cut the inner panel I welded yesterday off to get to shape with the outer panels, at which point I felt frazzled and packed up.
I'm thankful the other side is just one small bit. smile

Whats happened to the pictures.
It says bandwidth exceeded.
The pics were here a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway
The Whizzkid is one of the the best cars I've ever driven.
You cant help but laugh when driving one.
Brings back memories.
I've seen one around Birkenhead recently.
Is that yours?
There cant be many about now.
